Welcome back to Life Reflections. Today we are going to learn how to stop seeing yourself through eyes that don't truly see you and how to build a confidence that is unshakeable.
" Have you ever walked into a room feeling like a lioness, only to leave feeling like a mouse ? Somebody's comment or a remark, a silent judgement of peering eyes indicating ....You are too much or not enough ? Have you realized that much of what you call ...Your Personality is actually just a collection of reactions to other people.?
BREAKING THE MIRROR
We treat other people's perception like a mirror. But here is the danger if that mirror is cracked or tilted or dirty we start to believe We are the ones who are distorted. We waste time fixing a reflection that is not even real. We let an invisible architect build the walls of our mind based on blueprints we never signed off on. If someone calls you difficult it means you have boundaries they cannot break. If they call you intimidating it means they are struggling with their own self confidence. The moment you stop seeking validation is the moment you become finally free.
I used to think that if I could just explain myself better, or work a little harder, I could change how people saw me. I spent years trying to fix their perception of me. I took their words & opinion very seriously. But here is the practical truth I had to learn the hard way. People will only ever meet you as deeply as they have met themselves.
If someone is trying to bring you down, it is usually because they are already standing below you, looking up and they don't like the view. Your light is irritating their shadows. When you realize that their criticism is actually their own confession, that is when you take the power into your hands & stop being a victim of their words & start being an observer of their struggle.
RECLAIMING YOUR CROWN
Don't let anyone bring you down....not because you are tough but because you are certain. Certain of your worth, Certain of your Path & Certain that your happiness & joy is not up for negotiation. Stop apologizing for things that don't require your apology....softening your voice & hiding your ambitions, trying to justify your actions knowing well deep inside that you are right...This is called Social Monitoring.
We spend so much mental energy scanning the room for approval that we have no energy left for our own creativity. We become a filtered version of ourselves living in a constant state of performance instead of presence. Think of your spirit like a sanctuary. Who are you letting through the front door ? If someone enters only to scuff the floors & dim the lights you have every right to show them the exit.
Protecting your peace is not being mean, it is an act of self reverence. It is time to stop shrinking so that others can feel tall.
My reflection for you today is this...Whose voice are you listening to your, or the person trying to dim your glow ? The world needs you at full volume. It needs your ideas, your laughter, your strength not muted version of yourself.
I am Rachel and this is Life Reflection Stand tall keep head high & remember your value is inherent. Trust your own light & Be Your Own Woman. This is it for now See you in the next episode.
